This is my first time seeing a meteor in the day. This is although the second green meteor I have seen in this area within the last 3 years.

Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
I saw two bright white flashes the first was just a flash and the second resulted in a fragmentation. Each was very quick and after the flashes were over the green light reappeared.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
At first it looked like just one fragmentation, but then I noticed another smaller piece under the larger fragment. Both fragments curved slightly towards the ground while the main body of the meteor held its original angle. Each fragment had its own little tail. It wasn’t long after the break up that the whole thing disappeared.
